When a person is missing one or more teeth, dental implants<\/a> can be an excellent method to replace them. Here are some things to consider when evaluating your options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Will one or more offices be treating you, and are you OK with that?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    There are two phases of treatment when it comes to dental implants. A Surgical Phase, and a Restorative Phase. In the first phase, a dentist will perform surgical procedures: extractions, grafting, and\/or implant placement. In the second phase, the implant will be restored with a crown, denture, or some other prosthesis. Some dentists will only do the first, some will do only the second, and some will do both. If you work with an office that does only one of these two phases, you will have to bounce between offices. This can lead to a lack of proper communication during the process, or finger-pointing if there are problems afterward. Are you OK with this? At Morris County Dental Associates, we perform all phases of implant treatment under one roof, so you do not have to contend with these issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
